EVF is a must have for composition, focus, color, exposure and macro

Was out shooting some macro pix today. Had the LCD set to bright sunlight. Found it near impossible to see WYSIWYG due to the small and bright dynamic range of the LCD in bright sunlight mode. Focusing (even with peaking on) was difficult too.

IMO, there are certain types of photography such as closeups/macro that make the EVF or some type of hood a necessity. You can get away without it but I felt like I was shooting blind...
